Spiritual Lady has every chance at the weights having won a Listed race at Newmarket last year but was last of seven on her recent reappearance at York and QUEEN KINDLY gets another chance. The latter won in Listed company at Pontefract last month with The Wagon Wheel well beaten before finding the competition too hot in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock recently. Glenrowan Rose was pulled-up behind the selection at Pontefract last time but had notched-up a hat-trick before that while Sainted has won handicaps either side of struggling in a Group 3 at Goodwood along with Perfect Angel. Clem Fandango hasn’t raced since June while both Quench Dolly and Mayleaf Shine won handicaps on their latest respective starts.
